  1. Yea there are real cheap options from like $100 for a car I wouldn't worry to much about it unless it's for a bike where mines $600 (On Special) cause it's a Shoei I saw some $1500 brand new racing Shoeis the main difference was substantially more airflow and amazing graphic designs Good store make sure you visit their clearance center though, substantially lower prices It is true, but after you wear a $100 helmet for a couple of laps your gonna wish you bought something that is more comfortable or with more vents if your in a track car with no climate control
  2. I Agree with you in some areas like I know what you mean, when i first came here I was like "What no drivers ED? This is BS!" Mostly because it was my favorite period of the week but come on if there is one thing you SHOULD learn in school it's driving cause it is definitely something your going to use in the real world, and not knowing the terminal velocity of a falling object, or the periodic table or even algebra, I'm sure has a SIGNIFICANTLY less chance of killing you but we already HAVE these restriction's don't we? And it's pretty much proven they don't work I don't think the issue is we don't have enough restrictions, its EVERYTHING ELSE that we don't have enough of; for example several situations were suppression was used as a SOLUTION, not as an aid; take everyday life, when someone tells you over and over not to do something without giving you a clear reason or you think you capable of doing that task you do it right? Or the Cancellation of the Easternats, practically any peaceful protest which has turned ugly cause of police suppression. And for you geeks and nerds out there the Blu-Ray Hash key on Digg! When they tried to suppress it they received retaliation from the majority of the community, when they finally decided to give up NO BODY CARED! Its human nature, you ban us from not being about to do something that the majority of people feel that it is a right rather then a luxury there is going to be retaliation. Drugs, Sex & Alcohol is a prime example, no one here can tell me they waited till they were 18 before they had their first sip of alcohol (Not with their parents). More restrictions, i personally, don't think is the answer. Why DON'T we have drivers ed? Hell you got the space. Some places in the US host free track days every 1-2 months in hopes that it takes "hoons" off the road and onto a controlled legal environment and so far it's been WORKING. Autobahn is another one; unrestricted in some parts, 140 in others and the only real restriction being that some places require you to have a MINIMUM top speed of 61, but yet the Autobarhn maintains one of the lower fatality rates on Highways. I think we need more government support for drivers education, cleaning up the roads, seriously some of these pot holes are RIDICULOUS, lighting up more roads, and if you really want to get people off the road how about more public transport, and do something about those god damn trains and how about if you decide to put a Tram on the street not choosing one that basically has ONE LANE with cars parked on the other one ! We more government sponsored track days or facilities and also stop all this profiling crap you drive a hotted up car so your immediately a hoon? No officer I really think you should pay attention to that dick in a shitbox Vauxhuall who looks like he's about to drop his clutch. I'm not say remove all restrictions or any for that matter I just don't think restrictions and suppression is the solution....rant over oh and I agree with that Parent's comment. Seriously some parent's today its just shocking, they should be allowed to have kids. JR EDIT: Oh and that vid, REAL eye opener I think everyone should give it a watch (However although I don't agree with it entirely, mostly the fact that she was a 17 year old P Plater driving under the influence, she was still a young life still had parents and still had loved ones, it also really shows what catastrophic affects your negligent/stupid actions can have on others, even if it's unimaginable, it's possible)
  3. HECK YEA BOI! PUT ME DOWN AS CONFIRMED! Anyone reading this and didn't come to Buller last year; this is the event of the YEAR, DON'T MISS IT!
  4. I'm staying tuned for Buller Run pt.2 BEST CRUISE EVEA!
  5. Yo calm the heck down man, your the one asking for help not us, and in all honestly if this girl was really your pride and joy and have had it for awhile without making any sort of recent major modification you would know her limits and you must have been pushing a fair amount if you couldn't just jump on the brakes and sort it out. I feel for you and I was going to put up a post telling the guys to go easy on you but f**k dude after those replies you seriously need to calm down. Everyone is entitled to their opinion yes and you are entitled to defend yourself but your getting overly defensive like you got something to hide. If you really didn't mean to then prove it or accept the fact this is what you would be thinking the same if you saw the same thing. All in all I hope all the best for you, I'm sorry you lost your girl and my condolences to you. James Lol, Charlie
  6. Hey Charles Just check my FB albums and take whatever you want to use
  7. Did you reset your ECU after blocking off you BOV to remap?
  8. Hey guys, I've been wanting to post this up for awhile and just remembered after seeing SS8_Gohan's post. I just wanted to congratulate Vu and his Wife in their united love and wish nothing but the best for you two, I hope you guys live long and enjoyable lives together! James
  9. Does it pop only after giving it a good squirt or even with low granny driving? How often is often? If it's only after giving is some it seems to be fairly common and wouldn't worry about it, admittedly after my move from Shell V-Power to BP Ultimate (Thanks to Hamish telling me what an idiot I was) my popping has become almost nonexistent. It probably wouldn't hurt to get a tune for your car which might get rid of the popping if it's really bothering you
  10. Maha, Tepenyaki or StoneGrill (all about $100pp tho)
  11. OMG WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR CAR!??!?!?!?!? Oh....whew! Lol no nothing about this sort of thing but best of luck to you Kris!
  12. I...Want....OMFG....sex...this....on...wheels! Can't believe your selling! If I manage to get 30K within the next few months I'm SOOOOOO taking this off your hands
  13. Lol maybe this will finally get Jack to bring his own Skyline out for a bit of fun, I've never seen it!
  14. Hey guys, unfortunately some rather personal family matters have come up which require me to fly back to Hong Kong asap. I wont be back till probably after the weekend so will be unable to continue to host this cruise. It's a real shame cause I was really looking forward to meeting you guys but I guess you can never plan for the unexpected. I would be happy for Birds, Charlie or anyone else to continue and take over the cruise but I did have 3 biker friends of mine that probably wont be attending now sorry guys. I will probably try to do this again when I come back but probably not for awhile. Best of wishes to you all and SAFE RIDING! James
  15. I'll help if you need it, got all the tools, ramps and or jacks
  16. Customer: "Uhhh what was that?" You:"Oh thats nothing" Customer:".....on second thought...my car is fine...yea...it's running like new...thanks anyway!"
  17. Hey guys, ok just and update this is definitely going through, it doesn't look like a lot of bikeys are turning up but I do have a few of my own friends coming so it should be good, just was wondering if anyone knows of a meet spot which would be good before or at Emerald?
  18. I met the guy once that owns the shop, he seems to be the only person that works there so maybe he had to take leave? The guys really nice though I had 3 jugs of oil and he disposed them for me for free. Try calling before hand or during the weekdays to get a hold of him and see what his hours are
  19. Charlie is right on the money the whole idea of bringing cars to the bike cruise is because this is SAU! Not whatevertheshit-Australia its nice when you have a little more people and I'm sure a lot of drivers who come would like to see what the bikes are like how they handle and have a good old chat to a bikey. And your right it's not a race but it's fun it's like anything Evo vs STI, Lambo vs Ferrari, Holden vs Ford (PLEASE DON'T START a 10 page fight over this one) it's just suppose to be a bit of fun nothing more nothing less
  20. Hahahah oooooooo I think that is a challenge Birds! Taking ALL BETS, ALL BETS!!! Come one, come all to the race of the CENTURY!! Will this pretty young challenger hold up against this dashing lad? Who will win? Our new member on her Hyosung 250 or against our own flesh and blood Club Executive with his Beasty TURBO CHARGED R33!??? Weight vs Power, Stability vs Control, Broad vs Bloke???? That's right only here will you see such excitement, such amazement and experience such an adrenaline rush next weekend ONLY!!!! Don't miss out next Saturday where Birds will be defending his title and honor ONLY AT BLACK SPUR!!!! *Or any other place at the decision of the club members, terms and conditions apply, please read the PDS available to make sure this event is right for you* BE THERE! CHARLI VS. BIRDS!!!!!!! EDIT: Also as someone from VIC imports pointed out I stuffed the dates up Saturday is on the 22nd not the 21st, sorry!
  21. I have to agree with birds, you have to take corners A LOT slower with bikes and it's definitely a big jump in driver/rider comparison also one mistake on a bike best you can hope for is fearing damage, with a car you still can get a way with just spinning out. So I think in that sense bikers are more cautious as well. Oh well hopefully this picks up a bet more momentum but I think I'll post this on another forum like Vic Imports, screw NS lol
  22. Wow that is very generous of you but I don't know I wouldn't want to get anyone in trouble, I might just have to take the leap and get third party . I really appreciate all that you have already done for me and all the advice. Now just to see which insurance company has the best policy.
  23. ....or get some cardboard a printer and a exacto knife? EDIT: Damn Nick beat me to it
